Iron is an indispensable metal in the industrial sector. Iron is alloyed with a small amount of carbon – steel, which is not easily demagnetized after magnetization and is an excellent hard magnetic material, as well as an important industrial material, and is also used as the main raw material for artificial magnetism.

Design Considerations

Advantages of as machined surface finish

  • Highly accurate to meet tight tolerances.
  • No extra costs for standard average surface roughness.
  • Short lead times since postprocessing is not required.

Disadvantages of as machined surface finish

  • Machine tool cutting marks are visible.
  • No protection for materials with low corrosion resistance.
